PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
Date: October 18, 1999 Location: Government Center, Hudson
The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 12:30 p.m. by Chairman Gerald
Peterson. Members present: Peterson, Art Jacobson, Mary Louise Olson, and Julie Speer.
Excused absence: Herb Giese. Also present: Debra Kathan; Don Brown, serving as interim
Coordinator; John Borup; Kristie Tellijohn; Carolyn Krieger, and board member Einar Horne.
Moved (Olson, Speer) and approved to accept the agenda as presented. It was noted that
the next meeting of the Committee would be at 12:30 p.m., October 25. Kathan noted that
AFSCME business agent Steve Hartmann had contacted Steve Weld and indicated that he could
not attend the bargaining session today, therefore he advised his bargaining team that it would be
postponed until next week. Moved (Speer, Jacobson) and approved to accept the minutes of the
October 11 meeting.
Borup, Krieger, and Tellijohn discussed with the Committee their concerns regarding
availability of staff to provide direct resident care. Shortages in CNA's have been particularly
apparent in the second shift time slot. Krieger noted that a"wage war" exists among area nursing
homes to recruit qualified CNA candidates. Kathan was directed to involve Weld in a discussion
with Hartmann regarding immediate steps to be taken to enhance recruitment opportunities.
The Committee reviewed options for non-represented compensation packages. Included
in the review were cost estimates for eight different wage scenarios. Discussion regarding the
criteria to be used for determining comparability within Wisconsin counties. Brown indicated
his willingness to request from the Finance Committee a transfer of up to $15,000 from the
contingency fund to purchase an independent wage survey for our non-represented employees in
1999. He will place the request on the October 26 agenda and Personnel Committee members
will be in attendance to speak to issues or concerns.
The Committee reviewed initial proposals that the County would present to the LAW as
negotiations open on a new contract. The Committee asked that Kathan go forward with the
proposed language and arrange for a proposal exchange and negotiations as soon as possible.
Moved (Jacobson, Speer) and approved to adjourn at 3:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Louise Olson
Secretary
